Are you also tired of the old, boring SMS, in which you can neither send high-quality photos nor create a group of friends? If yes, then there is a very good news for you. India’s second largest telecom company Airtel has started an exciting service for its users in collaboration with Google.
Now the simple messaging app of your phone is going to become as powerful and fun as WhatsApp. The name of this new technology is RCS (Rich Communication Services), which is a super-smart incarnation of SMS.
So why did it take Airtel so long?
You will be surprised to know that Airtel was initially hesitant in introducing this technology. The biggest reason for this was the fear of ‘spam messages’. Airtel did not want users to face a flood of useless promotional and fraud messages on this new platform.
But now, Airtel in collaboration with Google has found a sure solution to this. Google will work closely with Airtel’s AI-based spam filters to ensure that only important and relevant messages reach you. Now you can enjoy this new service without worrying about spam.
What benefits will you get?
With the launch of this new RCS service from Airtel, you will now get many great features like WhatsApp in your phone’s default messaging app:
- HD Photos and Videos: Now you will be able to send and receive high-quality photos and videos through SMS only.
- Group Chat: You will be able to chat with friends and family by creating groups directly in the SMS app.
- Will work on Wi-Fi also: This service will work not only on mobile data, but also when connected to Wi-Fi.
- Location Sharing: You will be able to easily share your live location or any location with your contacts.
After this partnership, now all three major telecom companies of India – Airtel, Jio and Vodafone Idea – support RCS messaging. It is possible that in the future it will replace the boring SMS and become a new, faster and more fun way of messaging in India.
